Yes - but. I understood his question to be whether the IQ is better one way or 
the other.

I find it a moderately interesting question. Performance will decrease as it 
moves in either direction from the design 
optimum of 1:1. Adding two lens elements, even if perfectly designed to work 
with the lens at 2:1, will also decrease 
performance at least somewhat.

Who knows which is better, or where a crossover might be? I don't know the 
answer, as I haven't done a direct comparison.
